CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Use only a Currie Authorized 24V SLA Smart Charger to charge the batteries. Using any other charger may damage the batteries and void your
warranty. The charger unit has lights that show the battery charge status. Refer to the instructions that appear on the charger unit.
1.
2.
3.
Flip the handle up to expose the charger port
Attach the charger to the charger port
Plug the Battery Charger’s AC plug into a standard, grounded 110V AC wall outlet. If the power to the outlet is controlled by a switch be sure
the switch is “ON”. Let the batteries charge until the charger lights indicate that the batteries are fully charged, then unplug the charger from
the scooter and the wall outlet.
Always store SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries with a full charge. Fully recharge after each and every ride. If you leave the batteries in a run-down
condition it will shorten their life expectancy. The charger may get warm to the touch, so make sure you charge them in an open area and do not lay
anything on the charger unit while charging. Although you cannot over-charge the batteries using the Currie “Smart Charger”, we recommend that you
do not leave the charger plugged in for more than 24 hours.

Charge the battery pack for the recommend initial charge time
Never charge the battery pack for more than 24 hours
Do not allow battery to completely discharge before recharging
Storing the battery in a partially discharged state will greatly reduce its life expectancy
Recharge after each use regardless of time used
Fully charge battery before storing
Be sure to charge battery pack at least once every 30 days even if not used. Doing so will help to maximize the life of your battery pack
Do not store batteries below 50º Fahrenheit or above 80º Fahrenheit in order to help maximize the battery life
Never allow batteries to freeze. Freezing temperature depends on charge state of the battery, so store at full charge, to avoid damage. Battery
capacity is greatly reduced by low temperatures because the electrolyte thickens and is less active. In order to perform satisfactorily in cold
weather the battery must be kept in peak condition, so when the temperature drops you will have to keep a closer watch on the battery.
Never allow batteries to be stored or operated in excessively hot temperatures. The optimum operating temperature is 77º Fahrenheit for most
VRSLA (Valve Regulated Sealed Lead Acid Battery). Storing or operating the battery in excessively hot temperatures (+90º Fahrenheit) will
greatly reduce the available capacity.
Always be sure to turn the scooter “OFF” after each use via the On/Off power switch.
Do not store battery on surfaces that could be damaged if the battery were to leak battery acid. Take precautions to protect the surface on
which you store the battery.
